Hi-Life Entertainment - wedding DJ services from Leeds and West Yorkshire and beyond.

For most people, the entertainment, be it a DJ or band, is the last thing on their list of priorities, after the catering, wedding dress and venue selection.

If you ask people after their big day what they would have changed the most common answer is that they would have spent more time choosing the right DJ.we will make your wedding a memorable occasion

It is understandable with hundreds of mobile DJ's listed in the phone book many people just select the cheapest option. We are all familiar with the "Phoenix Nights" type entertainment companies from past experience. The DJ shouting over the microphone, playing often the most hackneyed and tastless music.


So how is Hi-Life Entertainment different?

we will treat your wedding as a special occasion

Well, with 20 years experience in the music industry in retail, entertainment, promotion and club DJing we can put together a refreshingly unique music selection together for you. Our recently developed Music Planner software will help to put together music for the night at the click of a button & will give the DJ important information for the night, based on your wishes.

Most importantly we will get the music right for you and your friends, whilst taking into account the older members of the family. We cover all types of quality music, retro and modern. We have sound clips of more specialist types of music at our music link that can help in discussions.

Basically the key is treating every wedding individually & pre planning rather than a production line or free for all approach. You can have as much input into song selection as you like. The Music Planner will give you lists of the most popular songs by genre or decade. You can add other, personal favorites too that we might not have included.

Once the consultation stage is completed we will give you a quote & if you are happy to go ahead a £50 deposit is required to book the day.

All you need to do is go to the enquiries link to start the ball rolling.


Many Thanks,

Mark Hepworth,
Hi-Life Entertainment




Bride and Groom - First Dances for Wedding Parties.

We are often asked for advice about choice of the first dance for wedding parties. To help with selection we have created a compilation of some songs that work well, as well as a couple of more off the wall ideas for the adventurous.

Traditionally it would be a slow "smoocher" with a suitable sentiment. This is also good if you are not confident dancers - often the groom want's to get this over with and get back to the safety of the bar!

As it is early in the evening it is also advisable to go for something fairly traditional as after this dance parents & couples will be planning to follow you. So if you had planned to play the Chemical Brothers it may be better to save that until later in the night.

Our compilation is not exhaustive with only 12 songs - most of which are soul ballads but should help in your decision making process. We have included a couple of uptempo love songs like the Cure's Lovecats and Chuck Berry's You Never Can Tell (from Pulp Fiction) - something like this could be fun but you'll need to have a dance routine worked out in advance.

Advice on things like this and set up of the room for music is available from the consultation stage right up to the wedding day. We have plenty of experience to call upon having DJ'd at many types of wedding party from traditional to totally alternative. Don't rule out something you would like to do on the grounds of convention - it is your day but do think about it first.

We can give you the CD at the consultation stage to help with your decision .



Background Music For Wedding Receptions

We can create a background CD for during the reception. This can be good for times when people are waiting for the bride and groom during photos and during the meal itself.

Venues can provide these for you but sometimes they can be rather "cheesy".

Services like this are provided by us free of charge as part of the overall service if you choose to use our company for your wedding music.
